A man has been sentenced to life in prison for the February 2021 fatal shooting of a 24-year-old college graduate in southwest Houston, according to Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg.
Ronnie Davontay Scott, 29, pleaded guilty to murder on Monday for shooting Donnie Glover on Feb. 23, 2021, in the 4000 block of Linkwood Drive.
According to police, text messages revealed Glover was pursuing a romantic relationship with another suspect, Nichole Clarke-Crocker, 21, who then worked with Scott on a plan to lure Glover behind the apartment complex and rob him of money and his new orange Dodge Charger.

Just before the shooting, Glover called 911 to report that he was being followed by someone trying to steal his car. Investigators said the 911 dispatcher on the phone heard gunshots.
Officers found Glover’s body towards the back end of the complex once they arrived at the scene.
According to Assistant District Attorney Maroun Koutani, Glover, who moved from Georgia to Houston a year prior, was out with Scott and Crocker the day before his death.
